Megan Rapinoe, is today being vilified by the right, not because America didn’t win the women’s World Cup, but because she had the audacity to stand up for women’s rights and equal pay for women in sport. Oh and for being gay.
She helped put women’s soccer on the sporting world map, delivering US soccer victory, time and time again.
Sportsmen and women around the world sometimes come up short, it proves they are human. One woman does not make a team and I’m sure every member of the team is devastated because they are their own worst critics.
Her service to US women’s soccer will remain legendary, and no amount of vile abuse from right wing lunatics using her to deflect from the crimes of defendant Trump, will diminish that.
This is a young team who will continue to deliver for US soccer. Long after criminal defendant Trump is convicted of defrauding the American people.

@renevanhees23 She is an activist and stays true to her values and beliefs. She is also a very talented player. Don’t allow the media to taint your opinion of her
How would Republicans in Texas feel if there were a law awarding $10,000 in civil penalties to anyone who successfully reported someone for not getting a vaccine? Sounds pretty awful and unconstitutionally invasive, right?
The same party that demands "freedoms" just offered Texas vigilantes $10,000 bounties to turn in their neighbors who seek abortions. And the Supreme Court greenlit this.
Vote in 2022 like your life depends on it. Because it does.
Let me get this straight. We can’t tell you that you need to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic because “your body, your right” but you’re allowed to police whether a woman is pregnant and seeking an abortion?
The former president is out with a statement attacking Team USA at the Olympics. No need for specifics. No need to quote from the statement.
Just know: The leader of the GOP is attacking Team USA at the Olympics.
What we’re seeing right now is a president with nothing left to lose and only one goal—to distract people from the fact that he lost.
He doesn’t care that the costs are America’s health, security, and our very democracy.
